To facilitate repairs on the electrical service that was damaged on Monday, it will be necessary to perform work on the system that serves University Hall and Jefferson Hall on Thursday, August 21 from 6 to 7 a.m. and Saturday, August 23 from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m.
We do not anticipate the need to shut down the power but want to make sure everyone is aware of the work and the possibility service could be temporally interrupted, for a very short period, if there are unforeseen issues.
As a precaution, please make sure that any critical equipment is shut down.
